Starr,
To apply the fix suggested by thommey, you'd have to edit the file tcl.c in the eggdrop source and recompile. If you are not familiar with patch-files or how to apply them,this fix is easy enough to apply manually. At line 614 (give or take a few lines), you'll find a line saying

Code: Select all

do_tcl_async(context, script, bgtclcallback);
Change that into this

Code: Select all

do_tcl_sync(context, script, bgtclcallback, 0);
Then recompile your eggdrop in the usual manner

I have edited the correct file and compiled the 1.6.21 bot. Loaded Bogustrivia and so far seems to be the fix. I'll continue to test for the next few days and will keep you updated.

Thank you both for your input. Maybe this can be resolved with eggdrop.

:D

Everything has worked smoothly for several days. The posted fix works perfect. I will be posting this fix on mytclscripts.com for any others who may want to use the 1.6.21 eggdrop.

Hopefully the eggdrop team will address the issue in the form of a patch or re-release.

Thanks for all the help you provided to track down this bug and apply a workaround.

That's still the eggdrop 1.6.21 timers bug showing itself.

I have to think you did not apply the patch correctly, or did not recompile the eggdrop after patching the source.
